I am confused about the presence or not of a stall system at Snowdon. (In a stall a miner would be sent to work as part of a small gang) Brian Elks has the miners of Snowdon working at a single face in 1911(no stall) Articles from the local paper clearly refer a stall system in place in the 1920s. See eg Trouble at the Pit. George who mined at snowdon post war until closure told me there was never a stall system at Snowdon.
Can the newspaper reports be misleading,or could the system have changed several times with the development of the seams being mined?
Can anyone clear this up for me?
